Brilliant. I remember well the analysis led by Irina Krush to determine
each day's move against Gary. And it was close to the end in all aspects,
often regarding what move to make, and also who had advantage, the World or Kasparov. What excitement to rush to Computer to see what the last move had been overnight!  I am of opinion that Gary Gifford would defeat even most top-20 Grandmasters, for example, in CV of his choice with say 48-72 hours preparation for GM, or whoever, to learn Rules. And against the ''World'' is actually marginally easier opponent, it was speculated during the weeks of Kasparov Against the World, because of slight ''least common denominator factor'' for one consideration. So Gifford, or Fourriere, or Stockman would become slight favourite.
